Ok, that's cool.  I checked mine out just out of curiosity and found
two paths of 6 degrees each:

13038 nodes examined. 13067 elements in the hash
5 steps from 0xDE7639D4 to 0xBA8F038D
0xDE7639D4 (Tanner Lovelace <lovelace at wayfarer.org>) signs

0xBA8F038D (Klaus Knopper <knopper at linuxtag.org>)


5841 nodes examined. 13721 elements in the hash
5 steps from 0xDE7639D4 to 0xBA8F038D

So, Greg, you need to come to a trilug meeting so we can
exchange keys and then I can have 3 paths from me to Klaus. O:-)

Seriously, though, it's been too long since we've had people sign
keys.  How about we either plan for the January meeting, or perhaps
a lunch this week?

Cheers,
Tanner
P.S. Errol, how in the world did you get to sign Wietse's key?
And, did he sign yours?
